00:00:00Bella?
00:00:02Bella?
00:00:04Where did she go?
00:00:06The gardener says Miss Bella's not on the grounds.
00:00:08She's disappeared again.
00:00:10We'll tell the design team to go big or go home.
00:00:12We're not building some quaint bed and breakfast.
00:00:14This is a billion dollar
00:00:16far low resort on a private island off Dubai.
00:00:18We need to crush this.
00:00:20Crush!
00:00:22Crush!
00:00:24Crush!
00:00:26Steve, I have to call you back.
00:00:28I have to call you back.
00:00:30How did you get in here, Bella?
00:00:32My little escape artist.
00:00:38What am I going to tell Mr. Barlow?
00:00:40Pulse alarm.
00:00:42She's here, everyone.
00:00:46Thank God.
00:00:48I only took my eyes off her for a second.
00:00:50She needs a leash.
00:00:52I'm not a dog.
00:00:54No, a dog behaves better.
00:00:56Daddy.
00:00:58Okay, everyone, let's get back to it.
00:01:00These decorations aren't going to put themselves up.
00:01:02Miss Delilah, I'm sorry.
00:01:04I will be hiring a new nanny soon.
00:01:06How long do you think this one's going to last?
00:01:08She's scared off three in a year.
00:01:10I don't want a nanny.
00:01:12I want a mommy.
00:01:14Oh.
00:01:24God, Everly.
00:01:26Can you see? It's a circus out there.
00:01:28Like a literal freaking circus.
00:01:30Oh my God, there's jugglers, there's clowns.
00:01:32There's even a man on stilts.
00:01:34Can you imagine having a birthday like this
00:01:36when you were just eight years old?
00:01:38Foster kid here.
00:01:40I used to blow out imaginary candles
00:01:42This is my favorite part.
00:01:46Somebody's a little too in touch with their inner child.
00:01:50When your mother proposed this blind date,
00:01:52I was a little hesitant.
00:01:54I just couldn't believe that
00:01:56any man can live up to the image
00:01:58that she painted.
00:02:00Yes, she's very good at talking me up.
00:02:02In your case, she really
00:02:04didn't do you justice.
00:02:06I'd love to slip away from the crowd
00:02:08and get to know you better.
00:02:10You're at my eight-year-old's birthday party.
00:02:12I wasn't interested before, but now I want you to leave.
00:02:18Wait for it.
00:02:24Why, hello, Mother.
00:02:26Julian, Bianca is hysterical
00:02:28and you have embarrassed me.
00:02:30Well, stop setting me up with random women.
00:02:32I'm not getting married again. Once was enough.
00:02:34Kendra and the race car driver have ended it.
00:02:36Right now,
00:02:38you have sole custody of Bella.
00:02:40But the courts favor the mother, Julian.
00:02:42You and I both know Kendra could
00:02:44show up at any time and demand
00:02:46that Bella live with her just to spite you.
00:02:48I'm not letting that witch anywhere
00:02:50near my daughter.
00:02:52Find yourself a wife
00:02:54and show the world a stable family.
00:02:56Not for your own happiness,
00:02:58but for your child's!
00:03:04Mother might be dramatic,
00:03:06but she's right about Bella needing a mom.
00:03:08Perhaps a fake wife would do.
00:03:12Got vanilla for you.
00:03:14What's your favorite flavor?
00:03:16Chocolate!
00:03:18So, do you want to know
00:03:20what makes everything taste so good?
00:03:22The secret
00:03:24ingredient is
00:03:28love.
00:03:36Well,
00:03:38I'm so exhausted.
00:03:40I'm heading home. You coming?
00:03:42Let's stay and finish the engagement cake for tomorrow.
00:03:44Okay.
00:03:46Hey, Bernie!
00:03:48Let me grab you the day holds.
00:03:56Tell Rose and Pete I included the pecan cinnamon rolls
00:03:58just for them.
00:04:06Oh my gosh!
00:04:08You scared me!
00:04:10Where did you come from, sweetheart?
00:04:12Where are your parents?
00:04:14Are you lost?
00:04:16What's your name?
00:04:18I'm Everly.
00:04:20You don't want to tell me, huh?
00:04:24Guess I'll just have to guess.
00:04:26Your name
00:04:28is Olga.
00:04:30Gertrude.
00:04:32Prudence.
00:04:34Hazel.
00:04:36Constance.
00:04:38Phyllis.
00:04:40Henrietta?
00:04:42Bertha.
00:04:44It's Bella!
00:04:46The birthday girl.
00:04:48She must have stowed away in the truck.
00:04:50Bella!
00:04:56You scared me, Bella Barlow.
00:04:58Sorry, Daddy.
00:05:00What were you thinking?
00:05:02I found my mommy!
00:05:06I'm so sorry.
00:05:08She's never done anything like this.
00:05:10I want Everly to be my mommy.
00:05:12Bella Munchkin.
00:05:14Please.
00:05:16You know, my daddy has lots of money.
00:05:18All you have to do is marry him
00:05:20and be my mommy.
00:05:22Bella, you don't marry someone
00:05:24for money. You do it because you love them
00:05:26so much.
00:05:28It feels like they're a part of you.
00:05:30Like you can't picture
00:05:32your life without them.
00:05:34I know you're supposed
00:05:36to be my mommy.
00:05:38I'm engaged to
00:05:40someone else.
00:05:42Come on, Bella.
00:05:44We've taken up enough of
00:05:46Miss Harper's time.
00:05:54So a hot guy and a cute
00:05:56little girl were like, come be my insta-family?
00:05:58The little girl was. The dad was kind of
00:06:00mortified. Bella reminds me of
00:06:02what I was like after the car accident.
00:06:04Kept going up to perfect strangers
00:06:06looking for my parents.
00:06:08Just couldn't accept that they were gone.
00:06:14Hey, beautiful. I miss you already.
00:06:16When are you back from your business trip?
00:06:18I'm back Monday.
00:06:20We'll see each other then.
00:06:22Are you calling me from the bathroom?
00:06:24Uh, no. The guests
00:06:26next door are just really loud.
00:06:28I gotta go. I love you.
00:06:34Hello? Earth to Everly?
00:06:36What?
00:06:38I was just thinking about what I told the little girl.
00:06:40All the reasons you marry someone, but
00:06:42I've never actually felt any
00:06:44of those things. Well, you better decide
00:06:46sooner rather than later. Well, Nolan and I
00:06:48have been together since high school.
00:06:50Loyalty counts for something.
00:06:52At least what we have is real.
00:07:00Okay, this hotel is huge.
00:07:02Where is the engagement party being held?
00:07:04Uh, restaurant.
00:07:06Okay, yes.
00:07:10I'm bored.
00:07:12I'm sorry, Munchkin, but after yesterday
00:07:14I'm not letting you out of my sight.
00:07:16Bella was bad. Bella was very bad.
00:07:18But
00:07:20I'll take you to get ice cream if you're very good.
00:07:24I want cupcake.
00:07:26Nice try, kiddo.
00:07:28Okay.
00:07:48That must be the bride-to-be.
00:07:50Hey, delivery for the lovely bride.
00:07:52Can I just get your signature on this really quick?
00:07:58Oh my gosh!
00:08:00Everly!
00:08:02Well, you haven't changed a bit
00:08:04since high school, huh?
00:08:06Still a pathetic orphan with no
00:08:08money? Or taste?
00:08:10Olivia,
00:08:12this is your engagement party?
00:08:14Who would marry a raging
00:08:16bully like you? Everly,
00:08:18what are you doing here?
00:08:24Nolan, I...
00:08:26I don't understand.
00:08:28Isn't it obvious, you ignorant
00:08:30nobody?
00:08:32Nolan's been cheating on you.
00:08:34With me.
00:08:42Is it true, Nolan?
00:08:44I can explain.
00:08:46Is it true?
00:08:48You've been sleeping with Olivia?
00:08:50You saw how she treated me.
00:08:52She made my high school life a living
00:08:54hell. You hate her just as much
00:08:56as I do.
00:08:58Well, if that's hate sex, then
00:09:00sign me up for a lifetime of it.
00:09:04Nolan's a sexy beast, aren't you, darling?
00:09:06Oh, but you wouldn't
00:09:08know about that, Everly.
00:09:10Being the pity fuck that you are.
00:09:12You set this whole thing
00:09:14up, didn't you, Olivia?
00:09:16Did you think you could date both of us?
00:09:18Marry both of us?
00:09:20No.
00:09:22Nolan, you have to choose.
00:09:24You can be with me and live the good
00:09:26life, or
00:09:28you could be with this
00:09:30dirty orphan, who will
00:09:32always be poor,
00:09:34pathetic white trash her entire
00:09:36life, and who will
00:09:38drag you down with her.
00:09:44I'm sorry.
00:09:46I'm sorry, Everly. I just, I can't be poor.
00:09:48I can't.
00:09:50I'm so sorry.
00:10:00This isn't happening.
00:10:02I'm in some kind of post-high school
00:10:04nightmare where the mean girl still wins.
00:10:10I don't like her. She's mean.
00:10:12Hello, where did you come from?
00:10:14Is she an evil
00:10:16witch? You little shit.
00:10:18Who the hell let this wretched brat in here?
00:10:20Kate, watch your mouth, Olivia.
00:10:22You can't talk to her like that.
00:10:26I can say whatever the hell
00:10:28I want. And both of you,
00:10:30get out.
00:10:32And take this disgusting pig with you.
00:10:34It's garbage, just like you.
00:10:40What are you, crazy? You could have hurt her.
00:10:42Too bad I missed.
00:10:44Oh my
00:10:46God.
00:10:48Get off me.
00:10:52Choke on it, bitch.
00:10:58I'm gonna destroy you.
00:11:00Good luck with that.
00:11:02You already tried in high school, but I'm stronger now.
00:11:04Keep going with
00:11:06my blessing.
00:11:08Do something.
00:11:10Everly?
00:11:12Kate, get off her.
00:11:18Touch my kin, you're dead.
00:11:20Who the hell are you?
00:11:22I'm with her. Since when?
00:11:24That's none of your business.
00:11:28Oh, hold still.
00:11:30You have some frost in there.
00:11:34Stop, don't.
00:11:36It's Julian Barlow,
00:11:38heir of Barlow Hotels and Resorts.
00:11:40He owns this very hotel.
00:11:42You're lucky I don't sue you both for attempting
00:11:44to assault a minor. I didn't know it was your kid.
00:11:46So she's a poor girl,
00:11:48hurting her is okay? This party's over.
00:11:50You two are banned for life from every Barlow
00:11:52property in the world.
00:11:56So this is what having someone stand up for you feels like.
00:12:02They were bad, daddy.
00:12:04There's a lot of bad people
00:12:06out there, that's why you can't run off the way you did.
00:12:08But I thought I'd really
00:12:10want to be with her.
00:12:12You need some rest.
00:12:14Go to the car.
00:12:16I love you, Edward.
00:12:22Thank you for
00:12:24protecting my daughter.
00:12:26Thank you for saving me from my cheating ex-fiancé.
00:12:32That sounds
00:12:34like a desperate man trying to win you back.
00:12:36Yeah.
00:12:38Not happening.
00:12:44Seems we have a problem,
00:12:46Miss Harper.
00:12:48My daughter's heart is set on you being
00:12:50her mother.
00:12:54You also have a problem with your ex
00:12:56not getting the message.
00:12:58I propose
00:13:00a pretend relationship. Like a fake
00:13:02marriage? Exactly.
00:13:04I can protect you from your ex-fiancé
00:13:06and you can help me protect Bella from herself
00:13:08and my ex, if she comes back
00:13:10into town. Is your ex really that
00:13:12bad? Kendra makes
00:13:14your high school nemesis look like a teddy bear.
00:13:16Do we have a deal?
00:13:18What if you want to be with someone
00:13:20for real?
00:13:22I won't.
00:13:24I've sworn I'm not going to get married again.
00:13:26...
00:13:28...
00:13:30...
00:13:32...
00:13:34Yes, Mr. Barlow.
00:13:36We have a deal.
00:13:48Tomorrow night is the annual
00:13:50charity gala. Black tie.
00:13:52There we'll introduce you to society.
00:13:54Why don't
00:13:56we start out slow?
00:13:58My mother will know if we don't show up
00:14:00as newlyweds. Didn't you say she lives
00:14:02in Paris? She has
00:14:04spies everywhere.
00:14:06Did you go to the gala with me?
00:14:08I don't know,
00:14:10Julian. I'm more flower
00:14:12than flair.
00:14:14We have
00:14:16a boutique at the hotel.
00:14:18I think the right dress
00:14:20will ease some of your stress.
00:14:22I'm still super
00:14:24uncomfortable with all this.
00:14:26I don't want to embarrass you
00:14:28at the gala. Are you always going to be
00:14:30this touchy about my money?
00:14:32Most women can't wait to spend it.
00:14:34I'm a baker, not a socialite.
00:14:36You've been
00:14:38hanging out with the wrong crowd.
00:14:42Maybe I have.
00:14:44Do you mind?
00:14:46My mother will want a picture of the newlyweds.
00:14:52Well, one other thing.
00:14:54Don't fall for me.
00:14:58Same goes for you.
00:15:10Boop.
00:15:14Well, hello, Mother.
00:15:16You're married?
00:15:18Who is this girl?
00:15:20Her name is Everly Harper.
00:15:22She's a sous-chef,
00:15:24cordon bleu trained,
00:15:26but she calls herself a baker.
00:15:28Ridiculous.
00:15:30Well, her parents died
00:15:32when she was six,
00:15:34and since then, she's had no relatives.
00:15:36She became a ward of the state
00:15:38and bounced around
00:15:40foster care,
00:15:42never really having a permanent home.
00:15:44So she's an orphan without social connections.
00:15:46What are her financials?
00:15:48Well, she has some student loan debt,
00:15:50and her business is barely making it.
00:15:52Despite that,
00:15:54she's won numerous awards
00:15:56and competitions for her.
00:15:58Oh, my God.
00:16:00She's dirt poor.
00:16:02You've married a gold digger, Julian.
00:16:04Well, to be honest,
00:16:06my wealth is probably a bad thing in this case.
00:16:08She'd rather me be middle class.
00:16:10Well, then she's a fool.
00:16:12Who wouldn't want a billionaire husband?
00:16:14Well,
00:16:16Bella chose her to be her mother.
00:16:20Well, I'm just upset that my only son
00:16:22didn't inform me he was married.
00:16:24We'll be in touch.
00:16:30That went exactly as expected.
00:16:32Yay!
00:16:34I'm really gonna be my new mommy!
00:16:36I should start calling you my little spy.
00:16:38Why does she move in?
00:16:40Um,
00:16:42I'm not sure. We haven't had that discussion.
00:16:44And she's gonna bake me more magical cookies
00:16:46filled with love.
00:16:48Has she done that before?
00:16:50Well, yes.
00:16:52Soon she'll be here, and she'll bake you
00:16:54many things full of love.
00:16:56Whee! Whee!
00:17:04Wait. You fake Marion, Julie, and Barlow?
00:17:06I know. It's insane.
00:17:08Oh, my God.
00:17:10You do know that your hubby is worth, like, $100 billion, right?
00:17:12Very funny.
00:17:14He didn't.
00:17:16I'm not joking.
00:17:18Whoa. I've never seen that many zeros
00:17:20in one spot.
00:17:22Oh, my God. Bestie!
00:17:24You're literally married to one of the richest dudes on the planet.
00:17:26Olivia and her toes are totally gonna flip out.
00:17:28We have to go to the high school reunion next weekend.
00:17:30I thought you said we were skipping that.
00:17:32Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Not anymore.
00:17:34We are going.
00:17:36Oh, come on. Please, please, please.
00:17:38Think about it.
00:17:40Whee!
00:17:42Why would someone like him even want a pretend marriage?
00:17:44I mean, he's charming,
00:17:46handsome,
00:17:48brilliant, and a good dad.
00:17:50Like, he could easily find a real wife.
00:17:52Maybe he's just avoiding commitment.
00:17:54You know, classic playboy move.
00:17:56He doesn't strike me as that type.
00:17:58Look at you, playing the little protective wife
00:18:00already.
00:18:02Shut up.
00:18:04So, when does Miss Barlow make her big debut?
00:18:06Tonight, actually.
00:18:10Care to help me find a dress for some exclusive gala?
00:18:12Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
00:18:14Oh, my God. This is the most exclusive credit card
00:18:16of all credit cards.
00:18:18You can buy an island with this thing.
00:18:20I'm gonna be sick.
00:18:22I have to find a way to give it back to him.
00:18:24Everly Harper, you will do no such thing.
00:18:26Can you please just be a little selfish
00:18:28for the both of us and live a little?
00:18:32You're right.
00:18:34Let's do this.
00:18:40Okay, I can't do this.
00:18:42$40,000 for a dress is insane.
00:18:44You could feed an entire village for that price.
00:18:46Yeah, crazy world we live in.
00:18:48Hello, ladies.
00:18:50My name is Pilar.
00:18:52Should we try something on?
00:18:54It appears to be your size,
00:18:56but I do have a seamstress on standby.
00:18:58Can I maybe rent it instead?
00:19:00Rent?
00:19:02That'll be $1,000 a day,
00:19:04plus a $4,000
00:19:06for a dress.
00:19:08$1,000 a day, plus a $4,000
00:19:10security deposit.
00:19:12Can you afford that?
00:19:14Oh my goodness,
00:19:16what manual labor job do you do?
00:19:18I'm a baker.
00:19:20Absolutely no rental
00:19:22for you. Those rough
00:19:24worker hands will snag the delicate fabric.
00:19:26There's a thrift store
00:19:28down the way that might be more
00:19:30at your speed. You don't understand.
00:19:32I'm attending the annual Celestial Charity Gala tonight.
00:19:34It's strictly black tie.
00:19:36What are you doing at Celestial,
00:19:38the most exclusive event in town?
00:19:40I know. You must be a waitress
00:19:42handing out caravans.
00:19:44Just buy it, then.
00:19:48This is a black card.
00:19:50Uh, obviously.
00:19:52Held up at
00:19:54boutique. Not going too
00:19:56well.
00:20:00Well, well, well.
00:20:02This card belongs to Mr. Barlow.
00:20:04How did it end up in your hands?
00:20:06Mr. Barlow happens to be my best friend's
00:20:08husband.
00:20:10As if. You must have
00:20:12stolen it. Security,
00:20:14arrest these scammers for identity theft
00:20:16and fraud. Get your hands
00:20:18off of her, you animal.
00:20:22Let us...
00:20:26We're not thieves. You're making a
00:20:28mistake. The card was given to me. We're innocent.
00:20:34Get this trash
00:20:36out of my face.
00:20:40Let them go.
00:20:46Mr. Barlow,
00:20:48you're right on time. Okay, I just caught these
00:20:50scammers trying to charge $5,000
00:20:52to your card. $5,000?
00:20:54When have you ever sold a dress under 30 grand?
00:20:56That was me.
00:20:58Just trying to rent it and said,
00:21:00no dress is worth that much. Are you kidding me?
00:21:02Don't fall for this innocent act.
00:21:04She's a clever scammer.
00:21:06Do you see anything you like?
00:21:08This one. But we
00:21:10were told to shop at the thrift shop.
00:21:12I'm Samantha, by the way. I've heard so
00:21:14much about you. Pleasure to meet you, Samantha.
00:21:16Pilar, my wife was looking
00:21:18to outfit herself for tonight's
00:21:20gala entirely through your boutique.
00:21:22Unfortunately,
00:21:24you cut up our card.
00:21:28So she...
00:21:30She really is your...
00:21:32wife?
00:21:34At Barlow, we believe in treating everyone
00:21:36with respect and dignity.
00:21:38Isn't your lease up in
00:21:4030 days?
00:21:42Mr. Barlow, I am so, so
00:21:44sorry. Okay, Mrs. Barlow, please, here.
00:21:46Take the dress. It's on the house.
00:21:48It's not necessary.
00:21:50Spill my account.
00:21:52And Barlow
00:21:54won't renew your lease.
00:21:56Not here, not anywhere.
00:21:58You're done, Pilar.
00:22:00I'll make sure you never work in retail
00:22:02again.
00:22:24I realize right now this is
00:22:26the first time I'm seeing the real Evelyn.
00:22:28You've been hiding in plain sight.
00:22:30You're all right. George, look over here.
00:22:32Mr. Ploswell for the night?
00:22:34What's her name, man?
00:22:36I got you.
00:22:38What's her name?
00:22:50I feel like I don't fit in here.
00:22:52You don't fit in,
00:22:54and I will stand out.
00:22:56Don't be so obvious, Everly.
00:22:58You can't let yourself fall for him.
00:23:00It's true, everyone here is rich.
00:23:02But they're all human.
00:23:04Flaws and all.
00:23:06That's Chase and Daisy Harrington.
00:23:08They're in banking.
00:23:10I don't think you mean they work at the Teller window.
00:23:12Chase can often be found
00:23:14at the dog trunk, and Daisy's a lush.
00:23:16She's probably spiked her wine
00:23:18with vodka already. Julian, that's
00:23:20awful. And that's Lily Blake
00:23:22Dubois and her second
00:23:24husband. He's 25 years
00:23:26her junior. Can men date women who are
00:23:28younger than them all the time?
00:23:30She was the PTA president, and he was in
00:23:32ninth grade with her son when they
00:23:34met, when they started their affair.
00:23:36Oh, my God. I guess I get it.
00:23:38I am no longer intimidated
00:23:40by anyone in here.
00:23:42Mission accomplished.
00:23:44Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:48Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:52I'm too old for surprises, mother.
00:23:54You flew from Paris for nothing.
00:23:56Nothing?
00:23:58You're making a fool of yourself
00:24:00with this gold digger.
00:24:02Miss Barlow, let's get two things
00:24:04straight. One, my name
00:24:06is Everly Harper, and
00:24:08two, I am not a gold digger.
00:24:10I have earned my keep since I was
00:24:12six years old, and I started my business from scratch.
00:24:14I don't need your money,
00:24:16but I would like your respect.
00:24:18So,
00:24:20I won't let anyone talk down to me,
00:24:22even if you are Julian's mother.
00:24:24Impudent girl. Meddling
00:24:26mother.
00:24:28Aren't you going to say
00:24:30anything? Meddling
00:24:32mother? I couldn't have put it
00:24:34better myself.
00:24:36I don't know what you did
00:24:38to trick my son into marriage,
00:24:40but I have my eye on you, Everly
00:24:42Harper. One false
00:24:44move, and you are through.
00:24:46All right, that's enough.
00:24:48Enjoy your evening alone, mother.
00:25:00Everly, I want to apologize.
00:25:02My mother was
00:25:04out of line. She didn't expect it either.
00:25:06She's so determined, she won't back down.
00:25:08We need to
00:25:10make sure she doesn't start digging into the details
00:25:12of our marriage.
00:25:14So, what's our next steps?
00:25:16I want you to move in with me.
00:25:20It was going to happen sooner
00:25:22or later. Mother just expedited
00:25:24it. That goes to
00:25:26the kitchen.
00:25:28Living room. Living room.
00:25:30Mm-hmm. It's just
00:25:32all moving a little too fast. I mean, one minute
00:25:34Julian's asking me to move in with him
00:25:36and the next, movers are packing my stuff.
00:25:38But you gotta love a man that takes action, you know?
00:25:40You are oddly chipper about all this.
00:25:42I mean, here I was, feeling bad about leaving you
00:25:44to find a new roommate. I don't know, I think I'm
00:25:46gonna try living alone for a while. Samantha,
00:25:48how can you afford that? The new landlord
00:25:50lowered everyone's rent. Since when?
00:25:52Since you became his fake
00:25:54bride. He knew
00:25:56that you felt bad for me, and so he bought the entire
00:25:58apartment complex and lowered
00:26:00everyone's rent. That's...
00:26:02That's
00:26:04insane. Romantic.
00:26:06Everly, billionaires don't think like
00:26:08normal people, sweetie. This is your life
00:26:10now. You need to get used to it, okay?
00:26:14Are we gonna have
00:26:16gazpacho for dinner?
00:26:18If it pleases Miss Bella to have gazpacho.
00:26:20Hello!
00:26:22Okay, what can I get you today?
00:26:24Thank you. You're welcome.
00:26:32Shouldn't take me longer
00:26:34than two days to inspect the site in Indonesia.
00:26:36Are you sure you can watch Bella?
00:26:38I haven't hired a nanny yet, and she
00:26:40tires Miss Delaney.
00:26:42Don't worry about us. You focus on work.
00:26:44Bella and I will be just fine. I'll take you to the
00:26:46bakery with me. You should have a blast.
00:26:48Here's a detailed list of her
00:26:50routines, do's and don'ts,
00:26:52allergies, emergency contact
00:26:54information, all the information
00:26:56you'll ever need. Love soccer,
00:26:58allergic to strawberries,
00:27:00doctor's number. I'm impressed.
00:27:02I wouldn't have thought a CEO like you
00:27:04would be this hands-on with this kid.
00:27:06Well, you thought wrong.
00:27:08Bella means the world to me.
00:27:10Bella means the world to me.
00:27:22Daddy,
00:27:24why are you staring at Emily like that?
00:27:26You like her.
00:27:28Sorry, she doesn't
00:27:30know what she's talking about.
00:27:32Sometimes kids have a way of knowing the truth.
00:27:34They also have a way of being annoying.
00:27:36Well, anyways, me and
00:27:38Bun Bun wanted to play airplane.
00:27:40All right, Munchkin, you have one minute.
00:27:42Yippee!
00:27:44Ready?
00:27:46Yeah!
00:27:52So this is what a happy family looks like.
00:27:54Looks so nice.
00:27:56I wonder if we could be a real family
00:27:58someday, just the three of us.
00:28:04Okay, chef, what's on the
00:28:06menu today?
00:28:08Chocolate cupcakes,
00:28:10and chocolate donuts,
00:28:12and chocolate cake,
00:28:14and chocolate chip cookies.
00:28:16I'm sensing a chocolate theme.
00:28:18Okay, it's time to get to work, chef.
00:28:20Whoopee, chef!
00:28:26What do you think, chef?
00:28:30I can taste the love.
00:28:32What?
00:28:34It's a basic ingredient. I can taste it.
00:28:36That's good.
00:28:40Everyone,
00:28:42do you like my dad?
00:28:44Of course I like him.
00:28:46He's a great guy and a good dad.
00:28:48So you could become my mommy for real?
00:28:50Bella,
00:28:52I don't know what the future holds,
00:28:54but I know
00:28:56you have a very special place
00:28:58in my heart, okay?
00:29:00Okay.
00:29:04Whoa, that was fast.
00:29:06Okay,
00:29:08it's time for a rest.
00:29:12Daddy!
00:29:20Oh my god,
00:29:22I'm falling for him.
00:29:26Daddy!
00:29:28Did you miss me, Munchkin?
00:29:30So much, but Everly's the best.
00:29:32I got to be a chef.
00:29:34And we had a movie marathon.
00:29:36And I got to sleep in sheep tents
00:29:38in the living room.
00:29:40And we ate in the kitchen with Mrs. Delaney
00:29:42who was all frowny, but then
00:29:44she was all smiley.
00:29:46I like the kitchen better than the dining room.
00:29:48Can we eat there from now on?
00:29:50I see you've made some changes.
00:29:52Very minor ones.
00:29:54Oops, did I say something bad?
00:29:56No, Munchkin. Daddy's just learning
00:29:58his little set in his ways.
00:30:00Daddy's a bad cook, and Everly's
00:30:02way better at girl stuff.
00:30:04You're like the prince and Everly's the princess
00:30:06and we can all live happily ever after
00:30:08with fun ones, of course.
00:30:14Kids and their fairy tales.
00:30:16She'll understand that we can't
00:30:18be more than a pretend couple when she's older.
00:30:20Of course.
00:30:22She's still too little.
00:30:24We can't be more than a pretend couple.
00:30:26Right, it felt so real.
00:30:28I let myself forget it was a fake marriage.
00:30:30It can never be anything more.
00:30:40My God, you have to go.
00:30:42Oh, come on. Olivia and Nolan are gonna
00:30:44gossip about us if you do not show your face tomorrow.
00:30:46They're going to do that regardless.
00:30:48I'm sorry, Sammy. I thought about it and I don't want
00:30:50to go to our high school reunion.
00:30:52Okay, hear me out. Just picture this. You walk in with your
00:30:54new, hot, billionaire husband
00:30:56and it's the perfect revenge for the mean girls
00:30:58that used to call us poor losers.
00:31:00No, I would never use Julian in that way.
00:31:02Well, if the thing is, I already told them
00:31:04that you would be there with him.
00:31:06Okay, don't get upset.
00:31:08It's just that Olivia posted that we were lying skinks
00:31:10and then I kind of just blew it from there
00:31:12and then all of a sudden... And Samantha, you make everything
00:31:14ten times worse. Don't worry, I'll go with you.
00:31:16I can't let my wife be humiliated.
00:31:18I came by to take you
00:31:20to dinner as a thank you
00:31:22for helping me with Bella.
00:31:24You mean that? His wife?
00:31:26You should take the day off tomorrow
00:31:28and go pamper yourself.
00:31:30I'll make the arrangements with the hotel spa.
00:31:32On one condition.
00:31:34Can you make the reservation for two?
00:31:36I can do that.
00:31:44I want to get my nails done, too.
00:31:46What color do you want to get, Bella?
00:31:48The exact same as you.
00:31:50I also want to get some for FunBun.
00:31:52You look slay with those.
00:31:54You're so adorable.
00:31:56How could any mother abandon you?
00:31:58I wish you were really mine.
00:32:06Oh, my.
00:32:08Mr. Barlow said that you might need some help getting into it.
00:32:12I can't wear that, Miss Delaney.
00:32:14It's too beautiful and definitely way too expensive.
00:32:16Nonsense, dear.
00:32:18Mr. Barlow said to tell you
00:32:20you're the only one that can do it justice.
00:32:26Now let's see it on you.
00:32:34I want to thank you
00:32:36for the dress.
00:32:38I'll find a way to pay you back.
00:32:40Seeing you in it is payment enough.
00:32:42You are drop-dead gorgeous, Everly.
00:32:44It's not me.
00:32:46It's the dress.
00:32:48Why do you downplay your beauty?
00:32:50I don't like to draw attention to myself.
00:32:54You shouldn't have to dim your light
00:32:56to make others feel good about themselves.
00:33:10Mr. Barlow, sir,
00:33:12there is a visitor here
00:33:14demanding to speak with you.
00:33:16I'm not expecting anyone.
00:33:18It's your ex-wife.
00:33:24It's your ex-wife.
00:33:32I put Miss Rossi in the guest room.
00:33:34Where's Bella?
00:33:36She's with Miss Delaney in the playroom.
00:33:38Good. We need to keep Bella away from Kendra.
00:33:40I have to deal with her.
00:33:42I'll join you at the reunion when I'm done.
00:33:44Let's not go.
00:33:46No. Kendra is not going to disrupt our plans.
00:33:48My driver will take you there. I promise.
00:33:54It's been so long, Julian.
00:33:56Not long enough. What do you want?
00:33:58I want my daughter.
00:34:00I want Bella.
00:34:08I heard Everly is coming to the reunion.
00:34:10I thought that she would
00:34:12never show her face here ever again.
00:34:14Everly?
00:34:16The foster kid weirdo?
00:34:18She destroyed my engagement party,
00:34:20so I'm going to destroy her tonight.
00:34:22Didn't Samantha say she's married to Julian Barlow?
00:34:24What if he's going to come with her?
00:34:26He might fuck her,
00:34:28but a Barlow is not going to marry trash like her.
00:34:40She should be mine.
00:34:52Eyes on me, Nolan.
00:34:54They really did recreate senior prom.
00:34:56Yep, all the ways,
00:34:58the tacky decorations, and the cheesy DJ.
00:35:00Last time I was here, I was with Nolan.
00:35:02My foster mom at the time
00:35:04helped make my dress, and it looked it.
00:35:06We didn't even get our first dance
00:35:08before Olivia told everyone I had an STD.
00:35:10That's right.
00:35:12And then Nolan couldn't take it, and he bailed.
00:35:14We should have known then that he was a dick.
00:35:16Yeah, I forgave him.
00:35:18No one could stand up for Olivia,
00:35:20myself included at that time.
00:35:22Let's play this bitch.
00:35:24I mean the dance, of course.
00:35:26That dress looks like
00:35:28it cost a fortune.
00:35:30What do you think, Olivia?
00:35:32You're a fashion expert.
00:35:34It can't be the nightingale of Hanoi.
00:35:36That dress is worth millions.
00:35:38It's just a cheap knockoff.
00:35:40Come on, girls.
00:35:42Let's give Everly a high school reunion
00:35:44she'll never forget.
00:35:46Let's give Everly a high school reunion
00:35:48she'll never forget.
00:35:50Hey.
00:35:52Where's your husband?
00:35:54Julian's on his way.
00:35:56Shut up, loser. No one's talking to you.
00:35:58Bitch.
00:36:00Give it up, Everly.
00:36:02We all know he got bored and dumped you.
00:36:04Like,
00:36:06okay.
00:36:08Did you just fucking shrug at me?
00:36:10Apparently,
00:36:12you've forgotten your place.
00:36:14Must be that dress giving you attitude,
00:36:16but it's a cheap knockoff, just like you.
00:36:18I don't think it's a knockoff.
00:36:20It's a gift from my husband.
00:36:22Give it up, bitch.
00:36:24We all know you're lying
00:36:26your husband, your dress.
00:36:28I call bullshit.
00:36:30Grow up, Olivia.
00:36:32You're too old to still be a mean girl.
00:36:42Hey, no, no, no.
00:36:44Let go of me, Nolan.
00:36:46Get your hands off of her.
00:36:48Just because you're fucking a Barlow
00:36:50doesn't make you royalty.
00:36:52Take that fake dress off,
00:36:54or I'll take it off for you.
00:36:56What makes you think it's fake?
00:36:58You clueless bitch.
00:37:00You're a fashion influencer.
00:37:02With 1.8 million followers,
00:37:04you expect me to believe
00:37:06that white trash like you
00:37:08are wearing the nightingale
00:37:10of Hanoi gown,
00:37:12valued at $10 million.
00:37:16That's why Julian grinned when I said
00:37:18I'd pay him back for the dress.
00:37:20Take it off.
00:37:26Hey, no, get off of her.
00:37:30No, let go.
00:37:32No.
00:37:34No.
00:37:36No.
00:37:40Stop.
00:37:42Get away from my wife.
00:37:46Get away from my wife.
00:38:00I'm sorry I'm late.
00:38:02The dress is ruined.
00:38:04Please tell me it wasn't worth millions of dollars.
00:38:06I can't tell you that.
00:38:10Apologize to my wife now.
00:38:12We were just joking.
00:38:14You know, fooling around.
00:38:16My wife was on the ground soaking wet,
00:38:18dress torn.
00:38:20What you did was battery and harassment.
00:38:22My lawyer's not going to think that's funny.
00:38:24I sure as hell don't.
00:38:26Lawyers? Who the hell are you?
00:38:28That's Julian Barlow.
00:38:30He's one of the richest men in the world.
00:38:32Do you know how much this dress is worth?
00:38:34Every bead is a genuine,
00:38:36flawless diamond.
00:38:38Miss St. James, you just ruined a $10 million gown.
00:38:40Oh, shit.
00:38:42No.
00:38:44No.
00:38:46No, that can't be.
00:38:48You better start liquidating all your assets,
00:38:50including your parents' house,
00:38:52because the insurance company is coming for your ass.
00:38:54Then the police.
00:38:56You're ruining one of the most famous dresses in the world.
00:39:00That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:04That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:06You did this.
00:39:08You set me up.
00:39:10You did it to yourself.
00:39:12Nolan, do something.
00:39:14I left the woman I love because you said we'd be rich
00:39:16and now you have nothing.
00:39:18You piece of shit.
00:39:20Nope.
00:39:22Don't do this.
00:39:24Please don't do this.
00:39:26I'm not the one you need to beg for forgiveness.
00:39:34I'm sorry, Everly.
00:39:36I never should have tormented you
00:39:38all of those years.
00:39:40You didn't deserve it.
00:39:42Then why did you do it?
00:39:44Why me?
00:39:48Why me?
00:39:50Why me?
00:39:52Because even with your shitty clothes,
00:39:54your terrible hair,
00:39:56you were still beautiful.
00:39:58Everyone could see it.
00:40:00I would kill to look like you
00:40:02and you treated it like it was nothing.
00:40:04So you hated me
00:40:06because I was pretty and didn't shove it in people's faces?
00:40:08That is so messed up.
00:40:12Well, I was right to hate you.
00:40:14Look at you.
00:40:16You bagged a billionaire
00:40:18and you didn't even try.
00:40:20Everly is beautiful inside and out.
00:40:22That's what draws people to her.
00:40:24You're done here.
00:40:26I'm not going to push any criminal charges,
00:40:28but the insurance company will be reaching out.
00:40:30You're on the hook for that dress.
00:40:32Oh, my God.
00:40:34I never thought that I'd see this in a lifetime.
00:40:36Please pinch me and tell me that I'm not dreaming.
00:40:38If you are, so am I.
00:40:40You want to get out of here?
00:40:42Yes, please.
00:40:48Bitches.
00:40:50Who knew that high school reunions
00:40:52would be this fun?
00:40:58Thank you for what you did.
00:41:00Never has anyone come to my rescue before.
00:41:02I enjoy doing it.
00:41:04You matter to me, Everly.
00:41:08Me and Bella.
00:41:10Hey.
00:41:12I'm not going to do it.
00:41:14I'm not going to do it.
00:41:16Hey.
00:41:18I understand.
00:41:20Thank you again.
00:41:22Have a good night, Julian.
00:41:24Everly, wait.
00:41:26That came out wrong.
00:41:28What I meant was
00:41:30I have feelings for you.
00:41:32And I don't want to lead you on.
00:41:34Kendra's betrayal of our marriage,
00:41:36it broke something inside of me
00:41:38and I don't think I can commit
00:41:40to another woman.
00:41:42I just want to be with you.
00:41:45I'm not asking for anything else.
00:41:47You're so amazing, Julian.
00:41:49And I like everything about you.
00:41:51You just...
00:42:10Sir, is that you?
00:42:12I heard a noise.
00:42:16Yes, Mr. Gibson.
00:42:18You can go to bed.
00:42:20Yes, sir. Good night, sir.
00:42:22Ma'am.
00:42:24That was embarrassing.
00:42:26I haven't got caught like that
00:42:28since I was a little school boy.
00:42:30Do you think he saw us?
00:42:32He probably did,
00:42:34but he's not going to say anything.
00:42:36I want nothing more
00:42:38than to take you upstairs right now.
00:42:40I care about you.
00:42:42And although it's going to kill me,
00:42:44I want you to go to bed.
00:42:46You're too noble.
00:42:50No one's ever said that to me before.
00:42:54Good night, sweetheart.
00:42:58Now go
00:43:00before I change my mind.
00:43:04Did that just happen?
00:43:06Am I actually dating Julian Barlow?
00:43:10No.
00:43:14This is nice.
00:43:16Just holding your hand.
00:43:18What are we going to tell Bella?
00:43:20I don't want to get her hopes up,
00:43:22but we are dating now.
00:43:24Change of steps.
00:43:26We have to put her first.
00:43:28Have you always thought of others
00:43:30at the expense of yourself?
00:43:32That's why I was bullied so much growing up
00:43:34and why people take advantage of me.
00:43:36Don't say that.
00:43:38You're the only person I know, Everly.
00:43:40And now you have me.
00:43:42And I promise I won't let anyone hurt you anymore.
00:43:52So you think you can replace me with this whore, Julian?
00:43:54Let's see how that works out
00:43:56when I get through with the both of you.
00:44:04So, this is your latest slunt.
00:44:06Kendra, are you following me?
00:44:08I'm Bella's mother.
00:44:10I need to know what her father is doing
00:44:12and who is doing.
00:44:14So you fuck the help now, Julian?
00:44:16Who I'm with is none of your business.
00:44:18You gave that right up three years ago
00:44:20when you cheated on me with my best friend.
00:44:22Then you abandoned your daughter
00:44:24and went to Europe with some tennis pro at a club.
00:44:26That was ages ago.
00:44:28I've changed now.
00:44:30I'm ready to be a wife and mother
00:44:32and you can't let this homewrecker
00:44:34Everly is my wife now.
00:44:36And stay away from Bella.
00:44:38You don't have visitation rights.
00:44:42Oh, we'll see about that.
00:44:44I'm Bella's birth mother.
00:44:46That's never going to change.
00:44:48I can't lose my daughter, or we'll...
00:44:50You won't. We'll fight it together.
00:44:52Hello, sir.
00:44:54What can I get for you today?
00:44:56I need to ask a favor of you.
00:44:58Sorry.
00:45:00No freebies for men with me and ex-wives.
00:45:02No ex-wife.
00:45:04Just one wife
00:45:06right in front of me.
00:45:08I'm still working.
00:45:10I'll have to kick you out
00:45:12if you're not a paying customer.
00:45:14I'm not a paying customer.
00:45:16I'm not a paying customer.
00:45:18I'm not a paying customer.
00:45:20I'll have to kick you out if you're not a paying customer.
00:45:22Then I'll pay now.
00:45:28I guess just bought
00:45:30the entire store.
00:45:32I need help from my favorite cake baker.
00:45:34Bella's elementary school is hosting
00:45:36a bake sale and
00:45:38every family brings a homemade dessert
00:45:40and they all compete for first place.
00:45:42Would you want to
00:45:44go with us?
00:45:46You want me to be a part of your family?
00:45:48In front of your neighbors?
00:45:50Of course.
00:46:00No, you have to stir in the same direction
00:46:02clockwise 30 times.
00:46:04Wow. I had no idea
00:46:06you had to be so accurate.
00:46:08You do if you want to be the best.
00:46:12No, not like that. Like this.
00:46:18You are
00:46:20the worst student.
00:46:22I'm sorry I can't concentrate
00:46:24because my teacher's so hot.
00:46:38Everly
00:46:40and Daddy sitting in a tree.
00:46:42Can I
00:46:44assess I and E?
00:46:46I'm gonna get you.
00:46:48Come here.
00:47:06Hey Bella.
00:47:08Remember me?
00:47:10No.
00:47:12I'm your mother.
00:47:14Why did I leave my mom?
00:47:16I chose her. You little brat.
00:47:18You can't choose your mother. You're born with one
00:47:20and that's what you get.
00:47:22That's enough, Kindra.
00:47:24You're upsetting Bella and causing a scene.
00:47:26Whatever. Move aside.
00:47:28I'm going to win this bake sale
00:47:30and prove who the real mother is.
00:47:32Those are store-bought cookies.
00:47:34What is she thinking?
00:47:36No. She made those.
00:47:38Her family owns Rossi Cookies.
00:47:40They were franchised.
00:47:42Tell me your ex was a world-renowned baker.
00:47:44She doesn't have a tenth of your talent.
00:47:46Her grandma's the baker.
00:47:48She uses the recipes.
00:47:50There's not one creative bone in her body.
00:47:56Oh my god.
00:47:58That's amazing.
00:48:00I want to buy all of it.
00:48:02Who made this?
00:48:04Julian Barlow?
00:48:06I had no idea he was such a talented baker.
00:48:12Here. Try mine.
00:48:14Not to brag, but the Rossi name is
00:48:16renowned in the world of desserts.
00:48:18Not bad,
00:48:20but nowhere near the Barlow's.
00:48:22I'm telling you all to taste it.
00:48:24It's simply magic in your mouth.
00:48:26I think we know who the winner is.
00:48:34You want to see magic?
00:48:36I'm going to make that bitch disappear.
00:48:38Abra-fucking-cadabra.
00:48:42Can't forget that.
00:48:44Top of Bella's grocery list.
00:48:46She would never forgive me.
00:48:48Well, aren't we the perfect little housewife?
00:48:50That is,
00:48:52until Bella is rushed to the hospital.
00:48:54Oops.
00:49:00Beverly!
00:49:02Hi!
00:49:04So lucky to run into you here.
00:49:06Oh.
00:49:08Oh, so.
00:49:10I owe you an apology for how rude
00:49:12I was to you earlier.
00:49:14In my defense, you'd have to be a mother
00:49:16to understand how it feels to see another woman
00:49:18raising a child.
00:49:20Do you have it in your heart to forgive me?
00:49:22It's Bella and Julian you owe an apology to, not me.
00:49:26Watch your back.
00:49:28There's a long line of women
00:49:30waiting to get their claws into Julian.
00:49:32Beautiful, sexy,
00:49:34sophisticated women.
00:49:36Who are suited to his lifestyle.
00:49:38Seizing his every want and desire.
00:49:40Is there some kind of threat?
00:49:44No.
00:49:46Just a cold, hard fact that you,
00:49:48Everly Harper,
00:49:50will never be more than a glorified babysitter
00:49:52to him.
00:49:54It's funny,
00:49:56because you'll never be more than a bitter memory to him.
00:50:00Now stop messing with our family.
00:50:02Next time,
00:50:04I won't be so nice.
00:50:08Next time,
00:50:10you'll be the psycho who drugged Julian's daughter.
00:50:18Let me ask you a question.
00:50:22Why did you choose me?
00:50:24Oh, where's this coming from?
00:50:28I mean, once Bella grows up and doesn't need a mom anymore,
00:50:32will you still want to be with me?
00:50:34Everly, sweetheart, this doesn't sound like you.
00:50:38It's just, I'm not like
00:50:40the society women you've dated in the past.
00:50:42What if you get bored with me?
00:50:48Imagine dating someone
00:50:50who barely eats because they're watching their figure.
00:50:52And spends more time with their plastic surgeons
00:50:54than with their family.
00:50:56You mean these society women?
00:51:00You're so bad.
00:51:02I'm sorry.
00:51:04I let Kendra get in my head.
00:51:06Kendra.
00:51:10It's Bella's school.
00:51:12This is Julian Barlow.
00:51:16Emergency room.
00:51:18Uh-huh.
00:51:20I understand. I'm on my way.
00:51:22What's going on? Is Bella okay?
00:51:24The school nurse said that she was poisoned.
00:51:26Something she ate. Something about a lollipop.
00:51:36She's asleep. Fortunately,
00:51:38the lab results just showed that it was
00:51:40a common prescribed sedative that was on the lollipop.
00:51:42How does this happen? I don't understand.
00:51:44I have to ask,
00:51:46have you had any threats
00:51:48recently or encountered any suspicious characters?
00:51:52I came as soon as I heard.
00:51:54How is our precious Bella?
00:51:56She's coming along.
00:51:58Okay. Poison?
00:52:00My God, what kind of monster would poison an innocent child?
00:52:02With a lollipop, no less.
00:52:04I'm sorry.
00:52:06Doctor, did you say lollipop?
00:52:08The perpetrator poisoned Julian
00:52:10and my daughter
00:52:12with a lollipop.
00:52:14Well, that's interesting
00:52:16because I ran into Everly
00:52:18at the bakery yesterday
00:52:20and I saw one of Bella's favorite
00:52:22rainbow-colored lollipops.
00:52:24Are you suggesting that I had something
00:52:26to do with this?
00:52:28You gave Bella that lollipop, did you not?
00:52:34I...
00:52:36I did, but...
00:52:38I can't believe this.
00:52:40Our precious Bella, our little angel,
00:52:42drugged by yet another baby.
00:52:44I did no such thing. I would never...
00:52:46Wait, hold on. Bella's been poisoned
00:52:48before? Is this true, Julian?
00:52:50When she was 18 months old,
00:52:52I babysat her and I haven't been able to trust
00:52:54anyone since then.
00:52:56Just you.
00:52:58But now I...
00:53:00Now what?
00:53:02You're not coming near Bella ever again.
00:53:06No, no, this can't be real.
00:53:08You know I would never hurt Bella.
00:53:10You know I love her like she's my own daughter.
00:53:12Oh, but she's not.
00:53:14She's ours.
00:53:16Julian, will you be calling
00:53:18security or shall I?
00:53:20Julian,
00:53:22will you be calling security or shall I?
00:53:28Everly, I'm sorry.
00:53:30I'm sorry for ever doubting you, even for a second.
00:53:32I know that you could never
00:53:34harm Bella. Not because
00:53:36you're my wife, but because of your
00:53:38loving heart. Julian, what are you saying?
00:53:40She's dangerous! Stop, Kendra, just stop!
00:53:42But...
00:53:44Look at the evidence.
00:53:46Everly bought the
00:53:48rainbow-colored lollipop from Bella. Who else
00:53:50could have tampered with it?
00:53:52How did you know
00:53:54it was a rainbow lollipop?
00:53:56No one mentioned what
00:53:58color it was.
00:54:00No, you switched them.
00:54:02At the bakery parking lot, that's why you were there.
00:54:06You drugged your own daughter just to frame me?
00:54:08What kind of sicko does that?
00:54:10You can't prove that. But your prescription
00:54:12medicine can. Julian, stop!
00:54:14That's not mine!
00:54:16She's been taking status since I met her.
00:54:18That's exactly what was
00:54:20found in Bella's system. It's, it's, it's...
00:54:22You psychotic bitch!
00:54:24First you tried to kill my daughter,
00:54:26now you're trying to frame my wife?
00:54:28It's common. It could be found from anywhere.
00:54:30It could have been anyone.
00:54:32It could have been you.
00:54:34It was you, wasn't it?
00:54:36I'm telling you, it wasn't me!
00:54:40Bella's waking up.
00:54:46Thank God she's okay.
00:54:48The thought of losing her
00:54:50was too much to bear.
00:54:52We don't have to think about that.
00:54:54I have you.
00:54:56I have you.
00:54:58And we all have each other.
00:55:00Whatever comes our way.
00:55:02That's what family's for.
00:55:04That's what it means to love.
00:55:06And be loved.
00:55:08Exactly.
00:55:12Stop it. We're in the children's ward.
00:55:14I'm pretty sure all these
00:55:16doctors and nurses know how babies are born.
00:55:18That's how cakes are made.
00:55:22Mommy?
00:55:24Daddy?
00:55:26Brain check?
00:55:28Oh, you can count on it.
00:55:30Is that my little munchkin in there making noise?
00:55:34Welcome in.
00:55:36What gang is that?
00:55:40No.
00:55:42What, is there a rule against selling a cake to your ex?
00:55:44Come on, Emily.
00:55:46Everly, I'm sorry. I made a big mistake.
00:55:48I'll admit that, but I've changed.
00:55:50I left Olivia, and I just
00:55:52want to start fresh. I want to do this again.
00:55:54Are you serious?
00:55:56Yes, it was all Olivia's doing. You know how manipulative she can be.
00:55:58And I only
00:56:00loved you the entire time.
00:56:02You think Julian... Julian's a multi-billionaire.
00:56:04You'd think he'd really go for someone like you.
00:56:06I mean, get real, Everly.
00:56:08If he doesn't love you,
00:56:10I do.
00:56:12We sadly die without you.
00:56:16Get the hell
00:56:18out of my bakery.
00:56:20You little fucking bitch.
00:56:22No one's going to come to save you.
00:56:26Stay away from my wife!
00:56:28Last warning. Stay away from her
00:56:30or I'll break more than just your arm.
00:56:32Motherfucker. If I can't have her,
00:56:34no one can.
00:56:42Thank you for stepping in, Julian.
00:56:44I wish I could be here all the time, but I can't.
00:56:46Nolan.
00:56:48It's going to be a problem.
00:56:50I can't exactly lock my doors.
00:56:52Don't work by yourself anymore.
00:56:54Make sure Samantha's with you.
00:57:00Someone for the lunch, kid.
00:57:06I have to pick her up right now.
00:57:08We'll see you later?
00:57:10Stay alert.
00:57:14Okay.
00:57:28And the hits keep coming.
00:57:30First my ex, now his.
00:57:32We never catch a break.
00:57:44Keep that from Bella.
00:57:46I'll get my lawyer to file a restraining order
00:57:48against Kendra this week.
00:57:50Maybe there's a way we can make peace with Bella's mom.
00:57:52We've tried.
00:57:54She's turned every attempt against us,
00:57:56including Bella.
00:57:58I can't risk
00:58:00losing my daughter.
00:58:04How can I help protect Bella?
00:58:06No, Everly, it's not your fight.
00:58:08Yes, it is. Contract or not, you and I are in this together.
00:58:10I can't stand by while you and Bella suffer.
00:58:14I know.
00:58:34What if Bella wakes up?
00:58:36She hung her head years ago.
00:58:38I just kept it.
00:58:40I know.
00:58:44I'm sorry.
00:59:14What are your thoughts
00:59:16on a family date?
00:59:18The three of us.
00:59:20You want to go on a picnic?
00:59:22I'll go wherever
00:59:24you'll take me.
00:59:28So where did you get bungled?
00:59:30When I was three years old.
00:59:32Yep, we were outside
00:59:34and she saw a rabbit run across the street.
00:59:36And I was like,
00:59:38what?
00:59:40And she said,
00:59:42no, you can't have a wild animal.
00:59:44So she started crying.
00:59:46So naturally, I got her bungled the next day.
00:59:48Naturally.
00:59:56Bella!
00:59:58My baby.
01:00:00Come to mom.
01:00:02What are you doing here?
01:00:04You look like a stalker.
01:00:06I'm still your mother.
01:00:08And I brought your favorite food,
01:00:10strawberries.
01:00:12Everly loves me more than you.
01:00:14And I love her too.
01:00:16And I can't eat strawberries.
01:00:20Darling,
01:00:22that woman is just after daddy's money.
01:00:24You're lying.
01:00:26I hate you.
01:00:28You can't talk to me like that.
01:00:30I'm your mother.
01:00:32No, you're not. Everly is my mommy.
01:00:34You're scary.
01:00:36You little brat.
01:00:38Mommy, daddy!
01:00:42Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:44Mommy, daddy!
01:00:46Kendra, what the hell?
01:00:48I'm trying to protect my daughter
01:00:50from this fucking bitch.
01:00:52Hey, watch your language in front of Bella.
01:00:54Strawberries? Kendra, are you insane?
01:00:56Bella's deathly allergic.
01:00:58How was I supposed to know?
01:01:00You never let me see that.
01:01:02That's a lie. You abandoned her.
01:01:04Shut up, you lying gold digger.
01:01:06You'll never be.
01:01:08Bella!
01:01:10Come back, sweetie.
01:01:12She's overwhelmed. You're scaring her.
01:01:14You know nothing about my daughter.
01:01:16But I know about you.
01:01:18You're just a foster kid.
01:01:20One step up from the gutter.
01:01:22Bella and I both know
01:01:24that Everly is the best thing to happen
01:01:26to this family.
01:01:28Bella, sweetie,
01:01:30you can't possibly think that this
01:01:32poor substitute is better than a real mother.
01:01:34We have the same blood.
01:01:36You're part Rossi.
01:01:38You can't ask your daughter that.
01:01:40Shut up!
01:01:42Kendra, this isn't some game that you can win.
01:01:44This is Bella and Julian's lives.
01:01:46I don't know why,
01:01:48but you abandoned them.
01:01:50You trying to snatch them back just so you can win
01:01:52won't make you happy. You have to move on.
01:01:54You have to move on.
01:02:00I know I don't deserve her.
01:02:02I found out last month that
01:02:04I'm infertile.
01:02:06I can never have another baby.
01:02:08Bella's it for me.
01:02:22I know she's done some bad things,
01:02:24but she's still your mother, Bella.
01:02:26Why don't you go give her a hug?
01:02:28I don't
01:02:30really hate you.
01:02:32I know, baby.
01:02:36It's all my fault.
01:02:42You're right.
01:02:44I only wanted to win.
01:02:46You can win a game,
01:02:48but you can never win someone's heart.
01:02:50You're very wise.
01:02:52Don't get me wrong,
01:02:54I don't want to be your friend.
01:02:56I'm just trying to leave my daughter
01:02:58with a happy memory.
01:03:02Take care, Kendra.
01:03:04Maybe one day I'll let Bella
01:03:06write you. She's older.
01:03:10Bye, sweetie.
01:03:14She fell for my sob story.
01:03:16Stupid bitch.
01:03:18I won't stop until I get
01:03:20my man back and the kid with him.
01:03:26Oh!
01:03:28What's all this for?
01:03:32A hundredth annual
01:03:34international bake-off.
01:03:36Sounds like a big deal.
01:03:38It's invitation only, and I can't
01:03:40believe I got in.
01:03:42If I do well, it'll really help put the bakery on the map.
01:03:44Well, given how you rocked that bake sale,
01:03:46you've got this in the bag.
01:03:48That was nothing. I need a showstopper
01:03:50that's going to dazzle their taste buds
01:03:52and win over their hearts.
01:03:54Hmm.
01:03:56So what's the secret weapon?
01:03:58Vanilla rosemary
01:04:00five-layer cake topped with a lavender
01:04:02buttercream and a hint of orange zest.
01:04:04Sounds like I need to clear some space
01:04:06on the mantle for that first-place trophy.
01:04:08Cut it out!
01:04:10I'm trying to concentrate.
01:04:12Oh. Am I distracting you?
01:04:14I'm a sucker
01:04:16for a messy apron.
01:04:20Okay, fine. You can stay, but you have
01:04:22to make yourself useful.
01:04:24What's first, chef?
01:04:28Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our
01:04:30one-hundredth annual international bake-off.
01:04:32Please find your seat.
01:04:34Our competition will start shortly.
01:04:42You got this, girl.
01:04:44We'll be in the front row cheering you on, okay?
01:04:46Thanks, Sammy. I'm gonna go check my presentation one more time.
01:04:52Knock him dead out there, sweetheart.
01:04:56Good luck.
01:05:04There you are,
01:05:06falling nicely into my trap.
01:05:08Who do you think arranged the invite,
01:05:10you pathetic nobody?
01:05:12Hey, Everly.
01:05:14Ready to get crushed.
01:05:16Andrea, what are you doing here?
01:05:18Are you stalking me?
01:05:20You look scared.
01:05:22You should be.
01:05:24I'm going to win that trophy and prove
01:05:26who's the better baker and mother.
01:05:28I'm infertile.
01:05:30I can never have another baby.
01:05:32So everything you said at the park was a lie.
01:05:34You're going to win that trophy.
01:05:36I'm infertile.
01:05:38I can never have another baby.
01:05:40So everything you said at the park was a lie.
01:05:42You're not infertile. You just can't stand
01:05:44that Bella chose me.
01:05:46I'm her fucking mother, bitch.
01:05:48You're a monster.
01:05:50And you're just an amateur who doesn't deserve to be here.
01:05:52Did you really think
01:05:54you earned a place in this competition?
01:05:56I'm the one who got the judges to invite you
01:05:58and now Julian's going to see
01:06:00what a poor orphan loser
01:06:02you truly are.
01:06:04Bring it on, Rossi.
01:06:06My recipe has heart and soul
01:06:08and they will beat your assembly line
01:06:10crap any day.
01:06:14Oh yeah?
01:06:16Do you know what goes great with cake?
01:06:18What?
01:06:20Coffee.
01:06:22Oops!
01:06:24Oops!
01:06:30Kendra, what the hell?
01:06:32You better go get cleaned up.
01:06:34I wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:06:36So unsanitary.
01:06:54Your knight in shining armor can't save your ass this time.
01:06:56Never leave.
01:06:58Our next competitor,
01:07:00Kendra Rossi.
01:07:06Good day, judge.
01:07:08This is my own one-of-a-kind
01:07:10original recipe.
01:07:12A
01:07:14vanilla rosemary
01:07:16five-layer cake with lavender buttercream
01:07:18and a hint of orange zest.
01:07:20That's my cake!
01:07:24What are you talking about?
01:07:26You stole my recipe.
01:07:28A nobody accusing me,
01:07:30a Rossi,
01:07:32of cheating?
01:07:34Well, man.
01:07:36You have impeccable taste
01:07:38in women because obviously you chose Everly,
01:07:40but that woman up there?
01:07:42How did you end up with such a nightmare
01:07:44ex? I was young
01:07:46and stupid.
01:07:48Yeah, obviously. So what are we going to do
01:07:50to salvage this? Can't you just like pull some strings
01:07:52or something? You're Julie and freaking Barlow for goodness
01:07:54sake. It's not that simple.
01:07:56I know Everly wouldn't want to win that way.
01:07:58Damn it.
01:08:00So what do we do now?
01:08:04Kendra can't get away with this.
01:08:06A nobody
01:08:08accusing me, a Rossi
01:08:10of cheating?
01:08:12How dare you?
01:08:16Oops!
01:08:18You better go get cleaned up.
01:08:20Wouldn't want to make the judges looking like that.
01:08:22So that's why you spilled coffee on me.
01:08:24So you could hack my laptop
01:08:26behind my back the same way you switched
01:08:28the lollipops behind my back when you poisoned
01:08:30Bella.
01:08:32That is a serious accusation.
01:08:34Now, can you prove
01:08:36that this cake is your creation?
01:08:38Here's your proof.
01:08:46We can't see
01:08:48anything. The screen is blank.
01:08:52We can't see anything.
01:08:54The screen is blank.
01:08:56What happened to my files? They're not there.
01:08:58As I said, this
01:09:00recipe is mine and mine alone.
01:09:02No, no, no, no. It's not true.
01:09:04Kendra Rossi, you're a thief.
01:09:06I think we've heard enough.
01:09:08Sir, I know this recipe,
01:09:10my recipe by heart. I can recite it from memory.
01:09:12I'm afraid that doesn't
01:09:14prove anything. Now,
01:09:16I think it's best that you
01:09:18leave the stage now
01:09:20before I have to disqualify you.
01:09:22Isn't that the
01:09:24baker from Sweet Escape Bakery?
01:09:26Not going to her shop ever.
01:09:30Wait!
01:09:32Wait!
01:09:36Wait!
01:09:38This will prove the recipe
01:09:40is Everly's.
01:09:46Now, you're going to want
01:09:48to let it cool for about ten minutes.
01:09:50Hey, back on me. This is
01:09:52the important part. The last step
01:09:54is to lightly dust with a layer of orange
01:09:56zest, just enough to reach the edges.
01:10:00And then
01:10:02you're going to want to add
01:10:04a pinch of salt.
01:10:06And
01:10:08voila!
01:10:10You'll see the time stamp of this raw footage
01:10:12was taken two weeks ago.
01:10:14And speaking from experience,
01:10:16no one can make this cake
01:10:18exactly like my wife.
01:10:20Something's different.
01:10:22Taste for yourself.
01:10:28Salt.
01:10:30Missing the salt. I didn't include it in my recipe notes.
01:10:32It was a last-minute spur-of-the-moment addition.
01:10:34Totally spontaneous.
01:10:36And yet, it made all the difference
01:10:38in the world.
01:10:40Salt?
01:10:42Salt.
01:10:44Salt.
01:10:46Salt.
01:10:48Salt?
01:10:50Salt.
01:11:08Salt or not,
01:11:10this is no ordinary cake.
01:11:12And it could only
01:11:14come from the heart and soul
01:11:16heart and soul of an extraordinary baker.
01:11:25You almost ruined my wife today!
01:11:27This is your last straw!
01:11:28Confess or I'm calling the police!
01:11:31But I didn't.
01:11:33Okay, okay!
01:11:36I did it.
01:11:38I did it.
01:11:40All of it.
01:11:41Are you happy now?
01:11:42Dragging me in the mud like this in front of everyone?
01:11:45Julian, you broke my heart!
01:11:47You have to have a heart for it to be broken.
01:11:50How can you say that?
01:11:52I loved you more than anything.
01:11:54And then this bitch gets into the picture and suddenly I'm nothing?
01:11:58Just some garbage you can throw away?
01:12:01What is so special about her, Julian?
01:12:04She's not prettier than me.
01:12:05She can't be better in bed than me.
01:12:07What do you possibly see in her that you don't see in me?
01:12:11Maybe I'm just a better baker than you, Kendra.
01:12:15Here.
01:12:17Have a taste.
01:12:18I don't want your stupid salt!
01:12:24It smells disgusting!
01:12:26It smells like a rotten potato chip!
01:12:28And Bella could have made a better cake than that!
01:12:33I...
01:12:35I don't even know what to say about everything that's going on here.
01:12:38Say I can present my cake.
01:12:41That's all I came here to do, sir.
01:12:43Fair enough.
01:12:45The ingredients in my cake are pretty traditional in terms of regular cake ingredients.
01:12:48I like the rosemary because it tends to cut through the sweetness of traditional cakes
01:12:53while also balancing the orange zest aromatic flavoring that we really look for in a well-balanced cake.
01:12:58I also, um, not listed, I add a little bit of salt on top just to balance everything out.
01:13:03And I hope you really like it.
01:13:06We have seen a lot of great bakes this year.
01:13:10But nothing in the history of this competition has ever compared to this year's first prize winner,
01:13:17Everly Harper!
01:13:19This year's first prize winner, Everly Harper!
01:13:26Congratulations, Miss Harper.
01:13:28Truly, truly, truly.
01:13:30Everly Harper!
01:13:33Congratulations, Miss Harper.
01:13:35Truly well-deserved.
01:13:38Would you excuse me?
01:13:44Oh, we did it, Samantha, we did it!
01:13:46No, Everly, you did this.
01:13:48Hold on.
01:13:52Listen to this.
01:13:53Orders are flooding in like crazy.
01:13:55No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:13:57I've got this.
01:13:58Trust me.
01:13:59Yeah, here, go celebrate with your hubby.
01:14:02Yeah?
01:14:05I am so proud of you, Everly.
01:14:16I got lost.
01:14:17I'm more likely to stick a bitch than suck a dick right now.
01:14:20Good.
01:14:22Then we both want the same thing.
01:14:24Yeah.
01:14:25What's that?
01:14:26Revenge.
01:14:28I've spent the last two weeks learning everything I can about Julian Barlow and Everly Harper's relationship.
01:14:33And I think what I found might interest you.
01:14:36Who the fuck are you?
01:14:39I'm someone that hates Julian.
01:14:41And I heard you're someone that hates Everly.
01:14:44So I have a plan that'll get us both what we want.
01:14:48I'm listening.
01:14:57Am I doing it right?
01:14:58Those look great.
01:14:59Just squeeze your bag a little bit tighter.
01:15:01More icing equals more smiles.
01:15:06Okay, time to switch to croissants.
01:15:08Oh, the chocolate filled kind?
01:15:10All different kinds.
01:15:11Can you go in the freezer in the back and get me two blocks of butter?
01:15:15They are left side, middle shelf.
01:15:17Left side, middle shelf, two blocks.
01:15:19Got it.
01:15:28Okay.
01:15:36You're coming with me, Bella.
01:15:38I'm your mother, not that whore.
01:15:40Everly!
01:15:41Save your breath, kid.
01:15:44She can't hear you anyway.
01:15:47Everly!
01:15:48Everly!
01:15:49Shut up!
01:15:53Let go!
01:15:57Let go!
01:16:15Bella?
01:16:16Bella?
01:16:17Bella!
01:16:28Everly!
01:16:30Back here!
01:16:47This is Julian Barlow.
01:16:48I have your daughter, and if I don't get 200 million in cash by sundown, she won't see the sunrise.
01:16:56What did you do with Bella?
01:16:57Who is this?
01:16:58Ten million.
01:16:59Unmarked bills split into two separate duffel bags.
01:17:02Let me talk to Bella.
01:17:04I need to know she's safe.
01:17:05Only after I get the money.
01:17:07Damn you!
01:17:08She's just a little girl.
01:17:09There's an abandoned campsite at the end of Canyon Ridge Road.
01:17:12Put the cash inside the office cabin and come alone.
01:17:16Because I'll be watching.
01:17:18When do I get Bella?
01:17:26What are we going to do?
01:17:28I'll call my bank.
01:17:30I'll get the money within an hour.
01:17:35Hello?
01:17:36Anybody?
01:17:38Hello?
01:17:39What is she doing here?
01:17:40I need an explanation for this.
01:17:42Mother, now is not the time for this.
01:17:44I had to learn from Kendra that you're not married at all, that you fake everything.
01:17:49What is this? This is for my sake.
01:17:51Combination was Bella's birthday.
01:17:53Very sloppy of you, Julian.
01:17:55How could you lie to your own mother and present this fraud as if she were actually your wife?
01:18:01I knew she was a gold digger, but I didn't know she was a tramp for hire.
01:18:04Silence!
01:18:07This is not important right now.
01:18:09That is just a piece of paper, Mother.
01:18:11I have to find Bella.
01:18:12She's been kidnapped.
01:18:13My grandbaby has been kidnapped?
01:18:15What happened?
01:18:17Bella and I were baking and someone grabbed me.
01:18:21I blacked out and when I woke up, she was gone.
01:18:25I have to get the ransom money together now, so if you two could please just...
01:18:29Just what?
01:18:30Stand aside and let you handle it?
01:18:33You brought this tramp into my daughter's home and because of her, Bella's life is at stake.
01:18:40Ew.
01:18:41It smells.
01:18:42Did you just let common street trash walk in here?
01:18:45Don't talk about him like that.
01:18:46Bernie is a veteran. He served our country.
01:18:50I'm sorry, Bernie. I don't have the day jobs for you today.
01:18:53But I have something for you.
01:18:55That lady?
01:18:56I saw her.
01:18:58And a tall man.
01:19:02Go back and crawl into whatever hole you came out of, you filthy animal.
01:19:07I saw them.
01:19:11They took that little girl.
01:19:13Fucking bitch!
01:19:14What did you do?
01:19:15Where's Bella?
01:19:16He's obviously deranged.
01:19:18Or both.
01:19:19The tall man. Did he have short blonde hair?
01:19:23Athletic build?
01:19:28Nolan. She's working with Nolan.
01:19:30Where is she?
01:19:32Where's Bella?
01:19:33Tell me now!
01:19:36I...
01:19:41What the hell?
01:19:42Where's my daughter?
01:19:49Where is she?
01:20:05Daddy?
01:20:11My little escape artist.
01:20:14You can come out now, Munchkin.
01:20:16It's safe.
01:20:18Daddy and Evelyn are here.
01:20:31This is ridiculous!
01:20:33It's not kidnapping if it's your own child!
01:20:36This is ridiculous!
01:20:38It's not kidnapping if it's your own child!
01:20:42It's over.
01:20:44It's finally over.
01:20:45It's over.
01:20:47Is it me and Mommy gone for good, Daddy?
01:20:49She'll never bother you again, Munchkin.
01:20:52I want you both to know that I'm very ashamed for my part in Kendra's scheme.
01:20:57But you can't continue this fake marriage.
01:21:00You're right, Mother.
01:21:05Beverly Harper.
01:21:07You're the most loving, brave and talented woman I've ever known.
01:21:11Your beauty is just dessert after a rich meal.
01:21:14My life fills full with you in it.
01:21:17Will you do me the honor of marrying me?
01:21:20And me!
01:21:27Julian Barlow.
01:21:29If I was to create a recipe for the bravest, smartest, most loving man, it would be you.
01:21:37Your wealth is not a dessert, but a mere appetizer.
01:21:41So, yes, I will marry you.
01:21:44And you too.
01:21:49I don't know what all that nonsense about food was, but the rest was lovely.
01:21:55I guess I'll give the girl a chance if she can make my son and grandbaby smile like that.
01:22:05Look at this.
01:22:07Do you see that?
01:22:16So pretty.
01:22:22I helped make that.
01:22:23Yes, you did, Bella.
01:22:26Have you guys ever seen such a beautiful family?
01:22:29I'm so happy for you.
01:22:30Thanks, Bestie.
01:22:33Mommy, how about a cake fight?
01:22:37You're a girl after my own heart, Bella.
01:22:39Everybody, cake fight!
01:22:45Woo!
01:22:46Woo!
01:22:47Woo!

01:23:14Woo!
01:23:17Whoo hoo!
01:23:18Couldn't you have gotten me something more practical?
01:23:20This is gonna be a bear to bake with.
01:23:22Only my wife would complain about a 15-carat flawless diamond being too big.
01:23:27Sorry.
01:23:30I'm not.
01:23:33God, I love you.
01:23:37Hey, Mr. Barlow.
01:23:40Hey, Miss Barlow.
01:23:41You said I was a changer.
01:23:42Who said I was changing my name?
01:23:47On the topic of change,
01:23:49I've been thinking.
01:23:50Vella needs a playmate.
01:23:53What do you think we give her a sibling?
01:23:56Just one.
01:23:57Foster a kid here.
01:23:58I always dreamed of having a big family.
01:24:01Well, how big are we talking?
